Do silent 60Hz monitors even exist?

[rainfern]

I recently got the Benq GW2760 and it's making a high pitched noise which is quite annoying if the room is silent. Turning down the brightness increases that noise. I know this is a widespread issue, can anyone point me to a place where I could find out about whether this is in some way avoidable? I don't rly have a budget for a >60hz screen. Do you know if the noise would get louder with larger screen sizes?

? I have 7 monitors in my office and none of them make any sound at all.. They are all 60hz mix of TN and IPS sooo my answer is your monitor should not make any sound at all return it.

I've been using an old 22" HP monitor for 6 years and it has never made any sounds.
So no, a modern quality monitor shouldn't make any noises.

No type of display should ever make a sound...

Hmm is that true even if the environment is 100% silent and you put your ear close to the monitor? (I know that other people have this problem with monitors as well, especially the cheaper ones)

I've never had a monitor make any noise even with a room with 30 of them (the PCs themselves have no fans). Do you use a surge protector on your power leads, maybe it's rough power that is causing an issue.

I can hear CRT monitors squeal but I have never heard an LCD monitor make noise.
The backlight PWM could possibly make noise but it would a very very small amount.
